Bayer Leverkusen won comfortably 3‑0 against FC St. Pauli on Tuesday evening to secure a place in the DFB‑Pokal semi‑finals. The match, played in front of a home crowd at the BayArena, saw the favorites-already on the path to a title-dominate the Bundesliga escapee.
Martin Terrier opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, slotting a neatly placed shot from 16 meters into the net. St. Pauli fought back, with Martijn Kaars earning a convincing equaliser chance shortly before the break, but the goal eluded them.
After the half‑time switch, Czech striker Patrik Schick sealed a 2‑0 advantage in the 63rd minute. He finished a close‑range cross from Aleix Garcia to extend the German’s lead. The last goal came in injury time, 90+2, when Jonas Hofmann calmly added a consolation goal to make the final score 3‑0.
